Team starting out with US Xpress

btw after you are working for usx they will repay up to $98 when you REnew it

 

Thanks again, flood.

 

Sounds like fun. I've never been there either. Where did your load start?

Btw, we had a delay getting our apps in to USX, a much needed vacation to New Orleans took over for a while. Faxed them in on Friday and got the pre-hires first thing this morning (not that it means too much at this point). Now to get the girl in school, looking for one a little closer to home that will take the Pell Grant.

 

Sounds like they're really keeping you guys in the miles. I'm really looking forward to everything working out for us and being able to get out there and run.

Are you still in the reefer division? If so, what are the advantages/disadvantages? It would seem like the live loading/unloading would cut into your miles a little.

I pull as much reefer freight as I can with my current company because they pay me an extra 10 cents per mile, so the waiting around doesn't bother me so much.

 

We are still with the reefer division and I wish we got paid more but we don't. We do get great miles and we stay running. We have only had one bad load so far per the loading. We get treated well and don't seem to have too many problems. I think if you sit over a certain time they do pay you detention pay. We will find out next paycheck.

 

Seems like even though you rear-ended another driver, you got off light. I thought most drivers were suspended from driving after an accident pending the safety department going over the detail of the accident. Usually rear-ending another vehicle is your fault. Is this going on your dac-report?
USX seems like a very forgiving company to me, considering the living hell other drivers have gone thru after small fender benders with other companies.
